Skam Records, created in 1991, and fully-established in 1994. For over 10 years now, Skam has led the way in electronica worldwide. Internationally-renowned for its Braille stickers on every release, hand-made sleeves, free info sheets, and general good quality sleeve artwork.
Bringing to the world for the very first time the likes of Bola, Gescom, Boards Of Canada, Jega, Freeform, Lego Feet, Alder And Elius, Wevie Stonder, Team Doyobi, Meam, Quinoline Yellow, and many, many, more, along with the infamous MASK series, and SMAK series.
With Skam, it's pure love, and pleasure -- time is spent painstaking over quality control. Skam are not afraid to shake things up a bit, to keep things fresh and challenging, which is probably the reason why they are still here, and still as relevant!

Skam Records are very proud to announce the re-release of Boards Of Canada's Hi Scores. Originally released in 1996, Hi Scores constitutes Boards Of Canada's second official release after 1995's Twoism. This follows the reissue of their other seminal records by Warp in 2013. The new edition has been re-recorded and re-mastered from the original DAT tapes. The CD is housed in a Digi-Pak sleeve with some extra art. The original image on the back of the sleeve is now in color. Spot varnish finish on the images & text alongside the usual Skam Braille sticker gives the whole package new depth and a refreshing look and feel.

Picking up from and advancing on his well-received 2010 debut full-length offering Trademark Ribbons of Gold, VHS Head continues in his exploration of emotive sketchbook electronics, cutting up and sampling reams and reams of old school VHS tapes to create a baffling, arresting and nostalgic trip into the world of twisted, lo-fi, tape-compressed electronica. VHS Head perverts all manners of sound sources, both musical and not, in a melting pot of deranged creativity, wrangling melodies out of disparate snatches of sounds and welding the results over a variety of differing percussive beds and beats ranging from the pastoral lushness of "Angels Never Sleep" or "Do You Understand" travelling through the gamut of styles, all the way through to barbed, hyperactive, glitched-out IDM-inspired workouts such as the glitch-funk of opener "Enter the Devil." Children of the '80s will undoubtedly recognize snatches of sounds from their childhood on this record along with the comforting, fuzzy warmth of the obsolete format that is VHS tape. It contains snatches of quizshow-esque excess, sleazy softcore porn twangs and salutations, crazed kids' TV themes, liberal smatterings of video nasty nastiness and an '80s bad hair, power-rock, noirish edge that at points recalls the feel, tone and subdued menace of Twin Peaks and its ilk. It is a record for 2014, referencing the hazy days when we were all growing up -- a compendium of time and place for the MTV generation and beyond.

Chrome Position by Phono Ghosts is an ode to the humble cassette tape. Constructed using tiny fragments of long-unwanted cassettes found in local charity shops collected over many years in the dark of night. The result is an idiosyncratic fusion between languid funk, hypnologic vocals, and swirling, psychoactive melodies.

Volume two in Doyobi's Digital Music series. The electronic tonalities and rhythmic arrangements deployed here showcase the duo's more mechanistic and caustic aesthetic. Convulsive computer-chunk beats and excoriated synth-noises are dramatically thrown into a blender then rebuilt to produce gelatinous slurries of pure Team Doyobi goodness.

Skam Records are very proud to present new super-group, Meatbingo. Meatbingo delivers a relentless, melodic, energetic, crashing album, striding along via a cascade of funky cuts ultimately transposing itself beyond reference and into its own unique domain. Hailing from Blackpool, the same UK seaside town as VHS Head (though this project has nothing to do with VHS Head), this region proudly continues its path to neon future retrograde funk. For all robots -- trendy or otherwise. Packaged in a stamped (and brailed) outerbox.

Skam Records presents a new EP of electronic & computer music by Team Doyobi. Digital Music Volume 1 was created using personal computing technologies to record, process and arrange synthesized sound into sequential melodic compositions and rhythmic structures. Utilizing technological systems spanning the last four decades of electronic music-making, the tonalities and timeless atmospheres contained on this sanguine recording were inspired by visions of synthetic utopian resorts amidst florescence-dappled procedural forests and CFD lakes, with zoned-out, hypnotic states of golden-hour warmth.

The mysterious Mr 76ix drops the fourth installment in his series of Hits of 76ix. This is an 18-track album that glides across acidic beats, melodic smak/garage drones and plenty of juice. Dip into this album and let it drop you in a place you just might like. Let it roll.

Skam reissues recordings by the mythical Lego Feet, otherwise known as legendary electronic duo Autechre. This four track CD contains over 70 minutes of classic, mind-bending, futuristic electronic-acid-industrial-cut-up fuckery that, at the time of its release in 1991, was virtually uncategorizable. Legendary electronic duo Autechre went on to advance the most seismic paradigm shifts in the sound of the late 20th century, and their seminal early release is presented here with two tracks of material that have never been heard before. All tracks have been re-recorded from the original master tapes. 1991 was an eventful year in human history -- the Dow Jones topped 3,000 for the first time; Boris Yeltsin got elected; Freddie Mercury died -- but among mankind's greatest accomplishments was the creation of the Skam label. At the time, hardly any record store bought the label's first 12". It wasn't until much later, after Autechre had established themselves as a pioneering experimental electronic group and some genius coined the term "IDM" to classify this baffling type of music, that the original Lego Feet release would become one of the true Holy Grail records.
